What makes a beauty Game Changer? It has to be more than just novel — it has to deliver and give you that rush of happiness each time you use it. It’s the kind of product you find yourself raving to your friends about. But in 2016 Game Changers aren’t just products, they’re people, too. To help ID these rare gems, we enlisted our favorite vloggers and Game Changer Beauty Award recipients Cydnee Black, Maddi Bragg, Sammy Robinson, Karen Yeung, and Ruba Zai. These girls do more than teach you how to nail a cat eye; watching them at work feels like being let in on a secret. Check out their — and soon to be your — favorite picks ahead. You won’t be able to keep them to yourself.

And because we're nothing if not overachievers, we also tapped three of our most trusted pro artists — Lou Teasdale, Madeline Poole, and Stephanie Stone — to give us the deep dive on the tried-and-true beauty faves they can't live without. Check 'em all out here.
